Galatasaray have opened talks to sign Man Utd star

Galatasaray have entered talks with Manchester United over a loan deal for Casemiro.

The Super Lig champions recently signed Victor Osimhen on loan from Napoli. They are now eyeing a temporary move for the Brazilian midfielder.

According to journalist Ali Naci Kucuk, Galatasaray are keen on bolstering their midfield before their transfer deadline next week.

The Turkish giants have made contact with Casemiro, and talks are also ongoing with the Red Devils over a season-long loan.

United are unlikely to part ways with Casemiro without a replacement

Casemiro had a dreadful Premier League derby against Liverpool on Sunday.

He gifted possession in the lead-up to both goals scored by the Reds in the opening half. The Brazilian was substituted at the break with Toby Collyer replacing him.

This has led to serious questions over Casemiro’s future at the club. The 32-year-old is no longer in his prime, and it may not be long before he leaves the Red Devils.

Galatasaray have made a loan move for the midfielder, but a deal is unlikely to happen. United cannot pursue a replacement for Casemiro until the turn of the year.

United have the chance to sign Rabiot as a free agent, but that would be a backward step. The 29-year-old would not suit the club’s transfer policy.

The club could wait until the next transfer window before contemplating Casemiro’s exit.
